Gibraltar has launched various support programs for companies established here during time and one of the most successful ones is the Business Nurturing Scheme which provides for startups. The new scheme comes as a response to the increasing number of startup companies created in the last two years in Gibraltar. Below, our company formation agents in Gibraltar explain the qualification requirements for the Business Nurturing Program.

The Gibraltar Business Nurturing Scheme to be offered as loan to startups

The Business Nurturing Program was designed by the Ministry for Business and Employment in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses and provides for 250,000 GBP which will be available for startup companies. The money will be given under the form of a loan to Gibraltar companies. In order to qualify a business must meet certain criteria which will be assessed and granted a score by a commission made up of a representative from each of the authorities mentioned above. In order to qualify, a Gibraltar company must have 50 point out of the total 100 it can obtain.

Both local and foreign entrepreneurs with a Gibraltar residence are invited to apply for the Business Nurturing Program based on a solid business plan and a financial projection.
